Donald Driver announced today via
twitter that he plans to hang up his cleats after a wonderful 14 year
career. Driver posted, “After 14 years in
the NFL, I have decided to retire. It’s been an amazing journey, thank you for
all of your love and support! #Packer4Life”
on twitter earlier this morning. The
former 7th round pick will leave the game with Packers records In
receptions (743) and receiving yards (10,137) as well as 61 touchdowns.
A real class act, Driver played his
entire career in Green Bay and in a league filled with contract hold outs,
PED’s and DUI’s, Driver remained a great role model with a spotless record on
and off the field. Driver is arguably
the greatest Packers receiver of all time and his Hines Ward-esque smile and
general love/respect for the game will certainly be missed by Cheese Heads and
NFL fans alike.
The Packers will hold an official ceremony for his retirement at Lambeau Field on Wednesday, February 6th.
